You can search for pain management physicians by contacting the two organizations that issue board certifications. The two organizations are ASIPP and ISIS. To contact ASIPP, go to www.asipp.org and to contact ISIS, go to ISIS, go to www.spinalinjection.com.

If you find the name of a pain management physician who has board certification from both societies, she/he is probably well trained. Beware! When you visit a new doctor: you should know that if you are taking high doses of oral pain medications, a new physician may not be willing to refill your existing prescription!

Ask Dr. Frey or Dr. Daitch before your last appointment if he can recommend an interventional pain management physician in the area where you are relocating. If the doctors do not know of anyone, they will be happy to confer with other colleagues to obtain the name(s) of a pain doctor who is board certified and has a good reputation.

If a patient is moving to one of the places where Dr. Daitch and/or Dr. Frey had previously lived, the doctors may be able to personally recommend a respected pain physician.

Dr. Daitch and Dr. Frey participate in the almost every pain management organizations at the local, state, and national level. Since both teach and lecture, our doctors meet many pain physicians throughout Florida and the world.

Dr. Daitch and Dr. Frey have had the surprise of treating patients who have been previously treated by former colleagues in other cities! They have also "shared" patients (that live seasonally in Fort Myers) with former associates who treat the same patients up north in the warmer weather! It is a small world!

A romantic long distance relationships are expensive, time consuming, and retrospectively not worth it. However, some long distance doctor/patient relationships may worth maintaining!

When patients find doctors that really listen to them, examine them, and decrease their pain, their relationship is usually long term. The most important goal of your medical treatment is to enable you to return to a life with less pain or no pain. It is desired that you are able to go back to work and contribute to your family and community.

If you are reluctant to leave the wonderful doctors and caring staff of Advanced Pain Management & Spine Specialists, consider commuting to us!

Believe it or not, we have numerous patients that drive hours from all over Florida or fly in for their office visits! We appreciate our patients' loyalty, and we try to accommodate their schedules.

It is so difficult for patients to find competent pain physicians who listen and have experience treating patients with the same conditions. Many of our patients tell us that they have been to many types of doctors, but they have not felt better until we fixed them! They adamantly refuse to leave our practice!
Therefore, we assume that some of our patients know there are some long distance relationships that may be worth maintaining!
